Only just started watching but had to say: - Delighted to see Bill, he always has that “dude you _really_ wanna hang out with, but for no particular reason” vibe 😄 - I did manage to see Asteroid City… i was really looking forward to it, but found it quirky to an almost obfuscating degree, though not in any particularly interesting way 🙁
As a young man, hearing the dialogue about the usefulness of man being replaced by robots, which has been theoretical for longer than cinema as existed... and now, it seems we're racing towards many aspects of human obsolescence. The richest, powerful men say we're going to space, despite having no where to go. Seeing you persevere with this show is inspiring - perhaps a movie about hope? I sure could use one.
Fell asleep in raiders of the lost arc, Firefox, and moonraker, and others not because of the movie but because I was on weekend leave and had been going all week on infantry courses with little sleep
It's amazing how many of these "not Star Wars" Sci-Fi films I had seen when I was little. I watched this somehow and I remember Hector creeping me right out. There's a lot of interesting stuff in this film but it feels like a much older film than it is. Star Wars was 1977 but films like this and the Black Hole that were made BECAUSE of Star Wars felt like they were 60's films. It's like the other film makers didn't understand that "lived in" feel that George Lucas managed so well and people like Ridley Scott picked up and ran with in Alien and Blade Runner so a film like Saturn 3 feels weirdly anachronistic.
Perhaps they saw the success of Star Wars and thought "oh, sci-fi is in again" and just hit the green light on some scripts they had benched for a decade. Execs usually take the wrong lesson when a movie hits, they look at the most surface level characteristic of a movie and crank out a few slap dash, undercooked stinkers to try and catch the wave before it passes.
@@alexanderforbes1452 What I think it is is, less the script and more the people they hire to make the films. I remember seeing some making of about the Black Hole and Disney's approach was to hire veteran film makers and effects guys while George Lucas was making new ways to film movies and I think it shows. Veteran film makers and effects guys in the 70's were people that were making films in the 50's and 60's and early 70's so the films felt older while George was trying to do something new and was ahead of his time. It wouldn't have mattered if the scripts were old, but it mattered that the people filming the script were old.
This has just been a parade of all my favorite Blame Society performers. It's a wonderful reminder of why I've followed this channel for so long. Everyone brings so much to the table. What a delight 😊 Love you, Bill!
Even when I first saw this movie in the theatre I thought it was horrible. However, I still have no problem watching it again and again. Im so happy to see it's now part of the Basement Collection. Thank you WTTB! Fantastic to see Bill! 👍❤
I first saw this movie when it hit video, and was a bit too young for it at the time. Then the movie vanished, and I began to wonder if I had ever even seen it! Then the internet reminded me it was real, and I thought about watching it again. Thank you for saving me the trouble!
I feel like this is one of those perfect movies to remake. It's old enough, it's got a really interesting concept that wasn't super well realized, and the story is as relevant today as ever. That said, it doesn't have name recognition, and that's the only thing studios actually care about with remakes. They don't want to improve a flawed piece of art, they just want to cash in by standing on the shoulders of giants. That became a rant, by bad.
Always love seeing Bill on Blame Society stuff. Guy has quite the range. (Also, I know for a fact that he is a Stephen King super fan so appreciated his facial expression when Matt critiques King's writing. I could almost read his mind with his facial expressions.... LOL!)
Everyone you've had on would be good for the show. Makes it really hard to pick, although I think the consensus is Mr. Matsushita. Glad this show will be continuing.
Same, I'm leaning towards Rob because his passion for movies matches Matt's, which makes it a good dynamic. (That being said, I'd be cool with any of the guests we've had so far.)
Glad to hear your thoughts on Mad God. That movie was a hell of an experience. I watched it with some friends who were a mix of horror hounds and stop motion aficionados (I fell in this group) and we had a great time with it.
BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL-Bill Nye, the Science Guy! Oh wait....wrong Bill. Hats off to Bill for doing an excellent job at getting us through a "so okay it's average" movie. Wouldn't mind seeing him return to the couch!
I rented this movie from Blockbuster as a kid... as a random movie to watch. For the longest time, I thought it was the third movie in a series I hadn't seen before. Asteroid City was Amazing I've seen About Schmidt two times, fell asleep three times.
The ending of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" might be the first time I teared up in a movie theater. As an aspiring filmmaker, Harold Ramis meant alot to my growth and knowledge in all things film (Caddyshack and Groundhog Day are truly unimpeachable), so seeing his likeness show up took me by such shock and surprise that an overwhelming sadness took hold. And the way the rest of the Ghostbusters respond to his presence, they could very well be talking to Ramis the actor, not necessarily Egon the character. I later read that his daughter fully supported his likeness being used and believed it was done in a tasteful and respectful manner, so that was good enough for me. Can't wait for Afterlife 2!
I used to love Jackass but after Bam fell apart & whatshisname died in that car accident, I thought to myself that glorifying self-destructive behavior like that may not be a good thing.
For me, watching Bam & etc.... it felt like having a friend in the group who just refused to mature. Everyone else around them is growing up and making changes and doing different things with their lives , but they were stuck in a rut where destroying their minds & bodies was all they knew how to do for attention. At some point nobody wants to hang out with the guys setting themselves on fire at the camp every weekend for the lolz, you want them to be able to just sit, chill and talk.
I have never fallen asleep in the theater, but I have gotten up and walked out of 2 movies as an adult. I have lost my desire to sit through stuff merely because I'd paid for a ticket. I want my more valuable time back and to not waste head space on stuff. Ohhh, Jackass. Maybe because I am in my late 40s but I think that era lasted a little too long. Did I watch it ? Yep. Did I laugh ? Oh Yes. But there was a point where it was just.... Done. O.T. , I can never decide if Matts tattoo is a mountain, or a bird.
Took my girlfriend to amsterdam to see avatar 2 and i swear to you i slept through most of the beginning and missed nothing, not that the edibles helped this mind you
I hate to say it gentleman but if you feel it's too tiring to go to the movies , it's probably because you've reached that age where you're too old to go to movies all the time! I've reached that age myself which is why I understand. But for the record The Flash movie is absolutely freaking terrible... all the same great episode!
The Brood? Have you seen it? Cronenberg made the film while going thru a contentious divorce; he claimed he wanted to remake "Kramer V Kramer" - only more realistic. Yikes!
Was really disappointed with this movie. It was a continuation of Barbarella only their to serve as Kirk Douglas's sex kitten. That age gap was so awkward. The part with the human looking head attached to Hector was pretty good.
Damn Craig, sleeping with and then murdering a client? I don't think this is management material, Craig. You really aren't being a team player right now, Craig. How do you feel about letting everyone down, Craig? We're your family, Craig. It's okay, Craig. We all love you, Craig.
Bill is a nice guy and no shade against him but he didnt quite sparkle in the cohost chair like the past couple hosts. This episode felt like you are watching a movie with you uncle or something
Watch our previous episode "The Meg" here! welcometothebasementshow.com/the-meg/

Bill is a great host! He is also one of my favorite BaBG guests, so seeing him here is a joy.
Only just started watching but had to say:
- Delighted to see Bill, he always has that “dude you _really_ wanna hang out with, but for no particular reason” vibe 😄
- I did manage to see Asteroid City… i was really looking forward to it, but found it quirky to an almost obfuscating degree, though not in any particularly interesting way 🙁
Love how much fun Bill seemed to have. If he shows up again I wont be sad at all!
He's something to eat.
As bad as it is, it's a gorgeous looking movie.
As a young man, hearing the dialogue about the usefulness of man being replaced by robots, which has been theoretical for longer than cinema as existed... and now, it seems we're racing towards many aspects of human obsolescence. The richest, powerful men say we're going to space, despite having no where to go. Seeing you persevere with this show is inspiring - perhaps a movie about hope? I sure could use one.
This filled me with so much glee, Bill is always one of my favorite Blame Society guests!
He's got weekend dad energy
Good job not-Craig! You did great.
Whenever I see Bill, all I can ever think of is Mongolian Goat Rodeo.
Fell asleep in raiders of the lost arc, Firefox, and moonraker, and others not because of the movie but because I was on weekend leave and had been going all week on infantry courses with little sleep
Matt looks happier than usual in this episode.

Even when I first saw this movie in the theatre I thought it was horrible. However, I still have no problem watching it again and again. Im so happy to see it's now part of the Basement Collection. Thank you WTTB! Fantastic to see Bill! 👍❤
Yay Bill!
Roy Dotrice did the audiobooks for the A Song of Ice and Fire books, he's great
Sci Fi July and Cartoon June are now holidays I celebrate more regularly than the actual 4th of July (and yes I am an American)
I first saw this movie when it hit video, and was a bit too young for it at the time. Then the movie vanished, and I began to wonder if I had ever even seen it! Then the internet reminded me it was real, and I thought about watching it again. Thank you for saving me the trouble!

My father's idea of great parenting was to take me to this at a weekday matinee when I was 7. I still remember the dog's death. Not a 'kids film' Dad!
Always love seeing Bill on Blame Society stuff. Guy has quite the range. (Also, I know for a fact that he is a Stephen King super fan so appreciated his facial expression when Matt critiques King's writing. I could almost read his mind with his facial expressions.... LOL!)
Love me some Bill Boles!
I watched Saturn 3 on TV in the middle of the day sometime in the mid 90's.
Do Rumble Fish 🤘1983 black and white , teenage art film , young Nick Cage
Everyone you've had on would be good for the show. Makes it really hard to pick, although I think the consensus is Mr. Matsushita. Glad this show will be continuing.
Honestly, the consensus seems to be “whoever is available and/or most willing”. Truly best case scenario
So far my ranking is Tony, Rob, Bill, Other Craig
Same, I'm leaning towards Rob because his passion for movies matches Matt's, which makes it a good dynamic. (That being said, I'd be cool with any of the guests we've had so far.)
Bolz Boys, roll out!!
14:15 This is Spartacus!!
Glad to hear your thoughts on Mad God. That movie was a hell of an experience. I watched it with some friends who were a mix of horror hounds and stop motion aficionados (I fell in this group) and we had a great time with it.
Such a hoot!
BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL-BILL-Bill Nye, the Science Guy! Oh wait....wrong Bill.
Hats off to Bill for doing an excellent job at getting us through a "so okay it's average" movie. Wouldn't mind seeing him return to the couch!
Great video.
It shows they enjoy each others company and are at extreme ease
Cool episode
I rented this movie from Blockbuster as a kid... as a random movie to watch. For the longest time, I thought it was the third movie in a series I hadn't seen before.
Asteroid City was Amazing
I've seen About Schmidt two times, fell asleep three times.
The Blue Dreamers sequence was filmed and edited but cut along with a bunch of other scenes.
Good pick! I love sci-fi horror and the concepts in this are so great even if the execution sucked. Have you seen Pandorum?
I had utterly forgotten this film existed. I remember it being very... strange.
Bill !!!!

Bill is great. Still think about his "Celebrities" phrase on BaBG
I used to love Jackass but after Bam fell apart & whatshisname died in that car accident, I thought to myself that glorifying self-destructive behavior like that may not be a good thing.
For me, watching Bam & etc.... it felt like having a friend in the group who just refused to mature.

You need to get in the habit of going to the cinema - I got into a habit of going every week (in part to get the most out of my membership card).
hell yeah bruder
Saturn 3 is hard on Uranus.
Has it been the same envelope all these years?
Can bill be the next permanent co host ? He was brilliant 👏
Off and on with Rob :)
Don't forget Tony, he was made for this!
Bill Bolz, da da da…
Hector would be an ice bucket challenge champion.
Madness? This... Is... Saturn!!!
I wanted to see it because of the commercials on tv but I never got to see it on the big screen. :(
Will I understand Saturn 3 if I haven't seen Saturn 1&2?
Why go to a theater and spend 20 dollars for snacks when you can stay home and spend 5 dollars on snacks?
So, does it prove to be as big a turkey as I've always understood it to be?
Ghostbusters Afterlife did have its problems (retreading the first movie, etc) but it did have good heart, and that goes a long way for me.
There was a dream sequence that they filmed after they took the dreamer but they cut it out of the movie.
And, as detailed in Money, the screenwriter of this film, Martin Amis, excessively hated Hollywood from this point on.
I have never fallen asleep in the theater, but I have gotten up and walked out of 2 movies as an adult. I have lost my desire to sit through stuff merely because I'd paid for a ticket. I want my more valuable time back and to not waste head space on stuff.
Ohhh, Jackass. Maybe because I am in my late 40s but I think that era lasted a little too long. Did I watch it ? Yep. Did I laugh ? Oh Yes. But there was a point where it was just.... Done.
O.T. , I can never decide if Matts tattoo is a mountain, or a bird.
I guess it didn't matter if Farrah could act, she was just going to be seen as the sexy girl
She was brilliant in Logan’s Run
What struck me about Farrah is how beautiful she was.
Took my girlfriend to amsterdam to see avatar 2 and i swear to you i slept through most of the beginning and missed nothing, not that the edibles helped this mind you
Also, I fell asleep during The Two Towers, which I'm sure is offensive to some
I hate to say it gentleman but if you feel it's too tiring to go to the movies , it's probably because you've reached that age where you're too old to go to movies all the time! I've reached that age myself which is why I understand. But for the record The Flash movie is absolutely freaking terrible... all the same great episode!
Is Bill related to Matt?
They look like two cousins chilling.
I actually quite like Dolores Claiborne the book quite a bit but the movie left me a bit cold
Still less creepy than Robot in the Family.
My girlfriend bought me a DVD copy of Tough Guys Don’t Dance for my birthday
The Brood? Have you seen it? Cronenberg made the film while going thru a contentious divorce; he claimed he wanted to remake "Kramer V Kramer" - only more realistic. Yikes!
Was really disappointed with this movie. It was a continuation of Barbarella only their to serve as Kirk Douglas's sex kitten. That age gap was so awkward. The part with the human looking head attached to Hector was pretty good.
Damn Craig, sleeping with and then murdering a client? I don't think this is management material, Craig. You really aren't being a team player right now, Craig. How do you feel about letting everyone down, Craig? We're your family, Craig. It's okay, Craig. We all love you, Craig.
Bill is a nice guy and no shade against him but he didnt quite sparkle in the cohost chair like the past couple hosts. This episode felt like you are watching a movie with you uncle or something
Thought he was great. Tied with Tony and Rob for me. Weezy is great but didn't work as much for me.
This movie absolutely stinks
look up the story about Kirk and Nathalie Wood
sickening
